The title sounds interesting (I actually love bizarre sounding stories like that. One book I started reading was Cat Laughing Last and it was one in a series of books about cats that are sentient detectives that solve murder mysteries. It sounds so strange, but it's actually quite clever. A cat's position is actually pretty perfect for a sleuth as they're designed to fit into tight spaces and nobody suspects them as being a threat. The funniest parts are when the cats actually talk (in English) to a select few humans working to solve the case and also to poke into their personal affairs (such as relationships and all). It's really quite a fun read thus far. I really should finish it).

What's it about?

Hm... it's about Theo Vilmos, a thirty-year old singer, whose life turns for the worse - his pregnant girlfriend losing the baby and splitting up with him, his mother dying of pancreatic cancer soon afterwards - who then somehow gets drawn into an alternative world, some kind of fairyland.

(Combination of what I've read so far and the blurb, I hope it makes sense xD)

I am enjoying it a lot so far, partly also because I absolutely love Tad Williams' writing style. ^^

Hmm, intriguing.

Bringing a book if there's not going to be anything happening is a pretty good idea, to be honest. =)

Yep, and this way I can keep my mind occupied... in a silent way. xD And it's better than just sitting around being bored... not at last because actually I loooove reading. ^^
